Irving Independent School District Grade Classification of Students 1. Students are classified once a year at the end of the school year in June. The only exception is for those students who attend summer school or those students who participate in a district program designed for grade acceleration. The classification of students who attend summer school is revised, if applicable, in August. Only seniors are reclassified when correspondence, CBE or Dual course grades are received. 2. If an error is discovered in a student's classification or if the school receives new records that reflect more or fewer credits, the counselors submit a correction immediately. 3. Classification of students is based on number of credits earned and courses completed as indicated below. There are two exceptions to this rule: students in Gifted and Talented (G/T) programs and new immigrant students. The credit and classification breakdown is published in the student handbook. • • • •

Freshmen 0 - 5½ credits Sophomore 6 - 11½ Junior 12 - 17½ Senior 18 +

4. Classification of G/T students - G/T students who earn 6 or more credits in middle school will remain in the normal progression of their class. 5. Classification of ELL Immigrant Students – Because all students receiving a diploma from an accredited Texas public school must meet the state graduation requirements, including passing all required STAAR EOC tests. New ELL students should not be enrolled in a grade level higher than 11th grade regardless of age or years completed in their country of origin. Students who have graduated from high school in another country may not be enrolled regardless of age. Please refer these students to a post-secondary institution and/or adult ESOL classes. 6. Three Year Graduates - Students who wish to graduate in three years will need to fill out the necessary documents with their counselor preferably no later than the end of their sophomore year. Three year graduates may be classified as seniors at the beginning of their third year of high school or mid-term if they have enough credits.

Irving ISD Dual Credit Program Offerings The Early College Start Program helps connect students to college before graduating high school by providing ALL students the opportunity for an early college experience through Dual Credit. Interested students should contact their counselor. Irving ISD has an instructional partnership with Dallas County Community Colleges to offer dual credit courses for students enrolled in Irving ISD high schools. The dual credit program enrolls students in college courses while they are still in high school, allowing them to earn credit for both high school and college credit. Dual Credit courses are offered in a variety of subject areas including math, science, English, economics, history, government and a wide variety of technical courses. Irving ISD has designed several pathways, as indicated in the table below, for students to earn college credit through the Irving ISD dual credit program: Dual Credit – Basic, Dual Credit – Core, Associates of Arts or Associates of Science allowing a student to earn anywhere from 24 hours to 60 hours of college credit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dual Credit?

What is Pre-AP?

Dual Credit is a pre-college program through which qualified high school students are able to enroll in specifically approved classes taught by qualified high school teachers on the high school campus during normal high school hours. Students receive â&#x20AC;&#x153;dual creditâ&#x20AC;?, i.e. both high school and college credit for their work.

Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) courses are available to students in middle and high school. These courses foster a high level of engagement and are open to any student who is willing and prepared to take on challenging course work. The course goes beyond the state standards and is designed to be appropriately rigorous to prepare students to be successful in Advanced Placement (AP) Courses. Within high school, PreAP courses are available in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Languages Other Than English (LOTE).

What is AP? Advanced Placement (AP) courses allow students to participate in college-level courses and possibly earn college credit while still in high school. This is accomplished by taking an end of course AP exam designed by The College Board. The score earned on the AP exam determines college credit. Each university sets the standard for the qualifying score for credit. Consult your intended university for more information on awarding credit. AP courses are offered in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Languages Other Than English, Art and Music. Students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) course are required to take the AP Exam for the course in May. Failure to do so will result in the loss of AP weighted points for the course in which the exam is not taken. The test fees for AP tests are paid by the school district.

What is GT?

What is Concurrent Enrollment? High school juniors and seniors can earn college credit at the same time they are completing requirements for high school graduation. Concurrent enrollment courses are taught on the college campus by college professors and high school students have the opportunity to participate in classes right along with full time college students. Some concurrent enrollment courses may be taken for both college credit as well as high school credit, while other courses may be taken strictly for college credit. Concurrent Enrollment Students wishing to take courses at North Lake College for college credit need to see their counselor.

What is Advanced Technical Credit (ATC)? Similar to Dual Credit, Tech Prep courses are career and technical courses that have been articulated (have an agreement) with approved community colleges to receive high school and college credit. These courses are added to studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college transcript and credit awarded by the college.

What are PRN and FND courses?

Gifted and talented (GT) services are specifically designed for the strengths and learning needs of the gifted learner, grades K-12. Specially trained teachers provide learning opportunities with course content that is either above-grade level or goes beyond the state standards, allowing student to excel and compete at the national level. The students demonstrate skills in self-directed learning, thinking, research and communication and develop innovative products and performances that reflect creativity, individuality and professional-level quality. Students must qualify for these accelerated courses through a referral and assessment process. Gifted courses available at high school are:

Principles (PRN)-Courses designed with modifications to the grade level curriculum. Enrollment in Principles level courses is based on the recommendations from the Individualized Education Program. Fundamentals (FND)-Courses focus on the prerequisite skills to the grade level curriculum. Enrollment in fundamentals level courses is based on the recommendations from the Individualized Education Program
